"By using roles to request, approve and certify user access privileges, BNSF will be able to simplify its user administration and compliance processes. SailPoint IdentityIQ will allow us to enforce and verify role-based access across our critical enterprise applications using a streamlined, automated approach." Bart Boudreaux, Director, Technology Services, BNSF Railway "SailPoint helps us define the connection between user access, financial control and intellectual property protection. Their risk-aware approach focuses on the relative risks associated with user access within our business." Russ Finney, Vice President of U.S. Information Systems operations for Tokyo Electron, U.S. Holdings "Businesses that are concerned with compliance mandates and ensuring the security and integrity of their IT systems cannot afford 12 to 18 month deployments. With IdentityIQ, organizations can gain immediate payback from automating key governance processes to better address business risk." Kevin Cunningham, Co-Founder and President, SailPoint "As a publicly-traded company and financial services provider, we are subject to a variety of regulations including FISMA, SOX, PCI, and SAS 70. To meet these requirements, we are standardizing and automating our compliance processes for identity management, so that we can centrally control who gets access to sensitive resources and maintain compliance as the organization changes over time. This centralized and automated approach allows us to proactively address risk and more efficiently maintain a compliant, secure environment." Jerry Archer, Chief Security Officer, Sallie Mae |
Control Solutions and SailPoint Collaborate to Solve Identity Risk Management ChallengesPartnership Will Focus on Helping Organizations Strengthen Internal Controls and Improve Business PerformanceAUSTIN, Texas, April 10, 2007 – Control Solutions International and SailPoint Technologies today announced a partnership to help organizations significantly improve their ability to identify, analyze and reduce business risks associated with user access to critical enterprise systems and data. Through their collaboration, the two companies will launch the Identity Risk Management Service, a comprehensive solution that provides industry-leading tools, methodologies and best practices to help customers implement strong and consistent controls over who has access to critical information – and what they do with it. The offering will combine Control Solutions' IT controls expertise with SailPoint's innovative risk management technology to eliminate time-consuming manual processes and provide a more holistic view of identity and access data across an organization. "Some of the most common and complicated issues our clients deal with are related to identity risk management," said Justin Morrow of Control Solutions. "When you consider the hundreds of applications and thousands of users in most large enterprises, it becomes difficult to keep track of all the moving parts. Add to that inefficient manual processes – and the communication gap between business groups and IT departments – and you've got a significant challenge on your hands. SailPoint Compliance IQ helps companies centralize and filter critical identity information, giving enterprises the ability to rank, prioritize and focus strategic compliance efforts based on measurable risk." Control Solutions' professional services team helps organizations design, build and implement internal control solutions that mitigate risks associated with user access to information, applications, processes and other resources. Once deployed, these solutions assist enterprises in identifying errors, fraud and inefficiencies by independently checking and validating identity-related transactions against specified control parameters and business rules. As a result, management and process owners receive timely notification of control failures and can quickly review quantified risks, investigating and resolving potential problems before they escalate. "Identity-related risks are inherent in every large organization, representing serious potential threats to business trust and corporate accountability," said Kevin Cunningham, president and founder of SailPoint. "Our partnership with Control Solutions will help businesses identify and prioritize their risk management efforts more effectively, using templates, best practices and proven industry expertise to strengthen internal controls and significantly improve business performance." SailPoint Compliance IQ uses advanced data mining and analytics to provide meaningful business context for the volumes of identity data generated by diverse IT systems and applications. The product's key capabilities focus on the prevention, detection and correction of identity-related risks, with specific emphasis in the areas of risk assessment, access certification, activity monitoring and policy enforcement.
